Learn Number 8 lyrics:

So many presents

I wonder what they hide

Let's open one

To see what is inside

I wonder what's inside this pink present with a blue bow. Let's open it!

Here… We… Go!

It's the number Eight.

We can show Eight as a number like this.

How else can we show Eight? We can spell the word Eight with letters.

e… i… g… h… t… Eight!

This is how you sign the number Eight.

Look at this 10 frame.

Let's fill it with counters until we have Eight. Remember to go from left to right, top to bottom, and don't skip any squares.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

There! We've shown the number 8 in our 10 frame. Now, let's take these Eight counters and put them in a different pattern.

We didn't add or take away any counters, so we should still have 8.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Wow, still 8 Let's re-arrange them again…

do we still have Eight?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Yes! We still have 8 counters, because we didn't add any or take any away.

Counters are fun, but let's show the number 8 in some other ways. Do you like to play games? Look at these dice.

How many dots are showing?

1, 2, 3, 4… 5, 6, 7, 8 Eight dots.

What about dominoes? How many dots are on this one?

1, 2, 3… 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Eight dots in all.

Here's another domino. How many dots does it have?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 … 7, 8 Eight dots.

Now, let's draw Eight tally marks:

One, two, three, four,

Number five shuts the door… Six, Seven, Eight!

I'll bet we can think of even more ways to show the number Eight. How many stop signs do you see? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Eight stop signs.

Say… how many sides does this stop sign have? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Eight sides! This stop sign is an octagon.

Let's draw 8 arcs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Eight arcs. Oh no, they look like frowns! Let's turn them upside down. Smile! That's better!

Look at this octopus. How many legs does it have?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Can you SEA all my legs?

We sure can -- Oh, (laughs) I SEA what you did there!

There are so many fun ways to show the number 8. We've counted up to 8 together quite a few times. Now, let's count back from 8 all the way down to zero.

8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0

Remember, zero is the same as none. Let's clap and count together back up to Eight.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Now, point at the number 8, and use your finger to trace it in the air. Here we go!

Start at the top … make a half circle to the middle… curve the other way down to the bottom… finish the bottom circle… then finish the top circle.

You did it! Eight!
